Kai Davis - “Fuck I look like”
All hail Kai Davis for this poem. Even today, being black and smart in Western education systems means you exist through a prism of contradictions. The price for not being a stereotype is being questioned by black peers who don’t understand why you treat Education like a competitive sport, and white peers who also consider you an anomaly. At the epicenter of it all is the inferiority context bread into black people and the superiority complex bred into white people since the social construct that is race was established. Kai Davis refuses to subscribe to what society thinks she should be and for that I salute her.
